The Dog Shoot Thing In Its Entirety

[Walter Zoomie]

Alrighty then. Here it is by popular demand. Pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of coffee or crack open a beer.

Hopefully, y'all can learn something.

I know I did.



Walter Zoomie's World: Self Defense For Real: The Entire Story of How I Prevented Two Vicious Rottweilers From Chewing My Arse Up, and the Fecal-Storm That Followed

 

[public servant]

Ummm... It's not playing. I'll try again later...

edit: Oh..wait..I have to read it... ok then... duh...

I was looking for the play button...

Let me grab a beer and absorb it. The story...not the beer.

Alrighty then. Here it is by popular demand.

Well, it's about dang time.

 

[Walter Zoomie]

Well, it's about dang time.

You can't rush genius...or stupidity.

Its sad that people get animals and can't properly care for them which ends up giving the animal a bad rep Rotties are not bad dogs in almost 99.9% of dog attacks its due to the owners not taking care of the animals or treating them how they should be treated. My husband and I are a proud owner of a Rottie , he is a big baby, and love him to death, I'm glad your okay!

 

[Walter Zoomie]

I don't hate Rotties either. It's just that I don't care to be their next meal.

 

[ryansgirl8385]

yeah I wouldn't want to be anyones next meal ha

Glad to see Officer K is such a well educated man by his excellent spelling on the police report

Personally, I would have accepted the offer to go on Judge Judy, I think she would have been on your side

 

[JetGirl]

A few points;

• Officer K. also asked me if I had a license to carry a handgun. I replied in the affirmative, and produced that document and my driver’s license to him.

Um, if you were on your own property, you wouldn't have even needed one...correct?

• I liked your email to the police chief.

• Another story I'm working on

Wellll...chop, chop!!

• Five days later, I received a threatening certified letter from the dog owner demanding payment for their vet bills…
• This part ^ still gripes me...but this part made me nearly hurl: her claim against me to the maximum allowed by small claims court law…$6000...claiming mental pain and anguish for her entire family, and a changed personality of the injured dog.

• "on my property" did not get stressed enough.

• You should have rented your dignity out to Judge Judy to satisfy the morbid curiosity of your audience...I might have actually hooked the TV back up for that one..

• Nice Mellencamp reference at the end.

I think I understand why the officer thought the 9mm wouldn't be enough, and why he was worried about ricochets.

These were WROUGHTweilers, as it said in the report. Apparently a cross between rottweilers and raw iron. Clearly those rounds could have hit them and ended up anywhere.

Wroughtweiler. That's one tough dog.

 

[vesan87]

That surprised me too that he asked for a license to carry. It would make no different weather you had one or not because you were on your property.

 

[Phil502]

Fantastic write up! Thanks for that. Glad it worked out relatively well, I know it's BS that you had to pay anything. I hope it keeps the dirtbags quiet though.

Looks like you pushed the shot a little bit. A 3:00 hit is usually the result of anticipating the recoil.

 

[Josh Ward]

You're a better man than I. Me and Mr Police Officer would have been going round and round. I'll be goddamed if they are going to "confiscate" my property for shootin a beligerant dog on MY OWN property....

 

[Josh Ward]

Please note: My above post is in no way shape or form "anti cop" I'm most certainly "pro cop" but the way this incident was handled by BGPD is just flat out wrong

 

[KokomoDave]

Walther,after having read this while consuming the better half of a case of good ol' Billy beer like most of us gun totin' red neckin' God fearing war mongers,I fear the system has let you down for merely doing a procedural error of not calling the BGPD first. I feel it's their fault as they should've been patroling that area keeping us war mongers in our houses for fear of running into one of them. I propose you file a civil suit against them for not being there before you called. Oh wait,that's not their job to keep you safe,huh? That has been proven in court many times. I loved your blog and I too,have a smilar incident that happened to me. you see,even tho I am of them,I am not immune from the same sit-rep you experienced. But I digress,this is your story not mine! BTW-Happy Veterans Day Marine!! (from an ex-swabbie)

 

[LEaSH]

Walter, you is an excellent writer.

I look forward to reading more stories. Thanks for sharing PITA experiences.

 

[Iceandfire]

Walter,
Thank you for giving all of us a great explanation of this event. I cannot imagine a similar blog from the hateful neighbor being anything close to such a complete clarification of the events. I'm glad you are able to put this behing you.
Happy Veterans Day... and good shooting!

 

[vwoodrum11]

Well written. I had a similar experience except with 2 large pitbulls. I know how you felt in the moment, luckily for the pits I wasn't carrying but I do now everytime I take my German Shephard out.

 

[SirRealism]

I guess the moral to this story is that you should have remained in your home for the remainder of the day, a prisoner to the irresponsible actions of others. This just plain sucks.

Oh well, thanks for telling the story. Between this and Liberty Sanders' story, I'm thinking I won't report anything if I'm in a similar situation.
